Question. You mentioned the light comes on. Do you get a startup chime? After pressing power, how long until it comes on? I just noticed that my light comes on but not right awa…

You dont have a 5500/6500 laying around do you?

Mine is the same brand. I think all the black boxed batteries in Macs are Rayovac. One cap maybe could. Until ruled out, hard to say if its the issue or now. You could try to trac…

Heres a few pictures people of the battery that leaked all over this TAM - I opened it up and you can clearly see the acid.... its all over the place. My fingers were covered wit…

hey unity - thanks for the helpful info. again I agree with all you say. Im thinking of removing c118, measuring its value, finding something similar , and as you said glue it in…

Okay, I will dig into it a bit. I emailed him. I certainly could have missed that model variation in my searches. With so many regulatory tags its hard to tell.

e-mail Eric Rasmussen on his site. There's nothing on that site he hasn't personally confirmed himself. From your initial list you are not accounting for the 240V Plus. This is it.

I am not well versed on checking stuff on boards, but if you need me to check anything else I am more than willing to do so.

C113 is indeed populated. Its ceramic, like others, so I can not say the value. Apple seems to stick to a common group though on boards.  So it may be like others such as C118. It …

cheers unity - appreciate it. I know nothing of the tam, its upgrades......I don't even know what cpu is in this thing. - ment to say...the pictures I posted above... the missing…

Some info on the ROM slot. http://appletam.ning.com/forum/topics/rom-slot-on-tam Also I will go check mine, C113 may not be populated. Also I wonder if a L2 cache is needed to b…

have to agree with you unity. When I began removing the caps there was plenty of electrolyte coming out of them. And after the full recap the machine was exactly the same it made …

I did quickly check your caps. Polarity seems good. I wish you had another board to test in it.

I can find no reason for that ROM to be in there. As far as I know, its not needed for the upgrade card. So keep it as basic as you can to see if you can get it going. By the way,…

hey unity. Why would that rom of been in it anyway. It will only show a display with one ram simm installed and nothing else. Will try the 2 rams but cant see it making any differe…

Do not install that ROM or upgrade processor card.

techknight said: So far, I am lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it). My ISP still doesnt use SMTPS or POPS authentication, its still all plaintext.  Click to …

hey falcon check both ends of display cable - checked connectors - all look good and clean. with that rom installed I get no display at all just the green light I have not heard…

Check the display cable and area. Also, try booting it with the rom.

still not there with this tam Did a recap of the motherboard and it is still the same - bad display, no sound, no control from front panel and harddrive wont spin up - ive check…

Its just the LCD display that is the weak point with its tunnel vision issue.

Can you show me a case with a serial/model that says M0001AP? I have yet to see one.

unity said: Ya, but I am just making a list of models. Im not interested in motherboard variations, etc. Click to expand... Are you replying to me? I'm not talking about …

There is also the possibility to fix that 7.x bus error in software somehow. I did that on my Mystic but totally forgot what you had to do. Edit: now that was easy... http://colou…

Ah great! That's good to hear
